Why spend big bucks on pre-dipped chocolate-covered strawberries when it's so easy to make them yourself? While prices on strawberries are low right now, go out and grab a carton or two and create a sweet gift for your sweetheart or for your next fancy party (people still throw those, right?). You'll save money and look like a fancy-pants at the same time. Our favorite recipe (with photos) is here.

Remember to submit your own photos (of food or anything else) to the Houston Press Flickr Pool. We'll choose our favorite food photo each Monday to be featured here on Eating Our Words.
